PC Gaming

People who hate RGB are the same people who get fashion advice from men's magazines. They also use words like 'ecclectic' and 'quintessential'.

The lights make the computer go faster.

No. Nerds were never respected. PC is more respectable now because all the popular kids do it.

RGBs inside cases aren't even that much of a meme compared to the obnoxious purple and pink light strips people put behind their desks, or those autistically overpriced pentagon light panels

I fucking hate all this LED shit. It's everywhere, my GPU has an LED, my Motherboard has an LED, my mouse has an LED, my Keyboard has an LED, and only the Keyboard has an off switch.
Fuck off with that shit already, it's too fucking bright. The side of my case is glass, I have to cover the fucking thing up just so I can leave it on overnight and still sleep.

No, PC users were ALWAYS highly respected -- just not by kids. Adults were a completely different story. The respect of kids is worth dick. But adults always knew who the PC people were and had them on speed dial for when their shit broke. "Popularity" ... lol, wtf, is this high school?

>"Waaah I liked PC before it was cool"

when the fedoras invaded and started whining about us enjoying our LEDs
please tell me more about how dignified your computer box is

the majority of LED lights/colors are terrible for your eyes i don't understand this shit at all.

PC was never cool. It was respected. There's a different. High school jocks and preps are cool. But they're only respected by other high schoolers. People that actually matter want them to die and nothing of value would be lost.

>"Waaah I literally spend money on shit I hate just so I can whine about it"

Are you pretending to be an idiot? The LEDs on every single one of those things can be disabled via software

Are you that guy from the Fortnite thread who was talking about how anal just made him feel like he had to poop? I'm pretty sure that's you.

You're not people that actually matter

>the side of my case is glass
I picked out my case to NOT have that for this exact reason. Fucking awful finding parts that don't have LEDs in them these days.

>says the guy on Yea Forums defending high schoolers and LED light kits

I bought a coolermaster case online. Everything about it is perfect from the cable management to powersupply and drive storage. Except that the door is a big fucking window. Who gives a shit about looking inside a case?

Most of them have software to turn them on and off. LED fan kits have remotes sometimes to turn them off. It may take a little more hunting, but it's do-able with a glass side. The reason I say that is the glass side is fun for decorating with things other than LEDs. My computer has 1980's GI Joes battling on top of the PSU. The possibilities are endless.

sorry to disappoint, user
I actually love anal

PC > console > steam (and equivalents) > mobile

Who gives a shit? I just want to play vidya, not care about street cred.

Pc gaming died after Vista.

White light strip behind the desk is nice. Otherwise my room is too dark.

I hate blue light fans from 2011.

Amazing performance, RTX looks pretty cool in the few games that support it.
Oh and 4k is still kinda so-so.

>Having only a GeForce 208

Nah amd is dogshit for gpus atm.
Polaris is barely as fast as a 7970-290x literal 6-8 year old gpus just alot cheaper
I was looking at the Vega 7nm radeon 2 whatever the fuck it's called and it was slower than a 1080ti
Went with a 2080ti for 4k because amd just can't even for the last 5 years had Vega 56 it was shit went back to my 1080

>where did it all go wrong

I only went with a 3440x1440 3.5k 100hz screen
I don't run retarded settings or give a shit about rtx atm it adds nothing to games I'll use it when dxr is a thing in amd gpus and devs bother to optimise

Isn’t the whole point of a PC that you can just not use this stuff if you don’t want to.

Dumbass op and Co can't figure out how to download and install the led control software to turn it all off

Hm, seems to work on AMD pajeets too.

Didn’t you see the fucking product before you bought it? You should’ve known there was a window

I just can't pick a 4k screen to buy.

Got my first 29" last year for 100 bucks and love it the fov is just more natural
16:9 8:5 and 4:3/5:4 feels like aids now since I spent 3 decades stuck on that crap and 10 years with a 1920x1200x60hz samsung tn ghosting pos

20XX is not worth the money and 1070 is superseded by 1660 (which is also a joke since it's barely an improvement)

PC tuning has been a thing since decades. I've never liked leds but rgb is still an improvement over single color led fans.

>1660
I am sure my currebt MB doesn't support it

Va if you don't wunna drop 1k+ on meme gamer shit that's outdated before it even comes out and don't mind 100hz
Wait for freesync 2 it won't crush color space on 4k 120-165hz+ like gsync 2 hdr shit

The 20 series sure is overpriced but the best you can get right now

>epic shill shilling for store exclusivity in every thread he can

The point of RGB is to change it to a particular color to match your stuff instead of a Las Vegas lightshow.

rent free

I'm looking exclusively at VA monitors, but there are very few that check all the boxes.
I want HDR600 or better and 32'' ideally, may go for 43''. Don't really mind 60 Hz.

How old is your fucking motherboard?
Yep.
Thank fuck car culture moved onto led lights and bars instead
Sadly on pc the only good use for led is oled/xled screens and they don't even really exist and won't for some time until burn in issues are fixed

>thinking the wife can be loving without dominating her with your cock

PC gaming used to be about horribly loud coolers

Just cut the cable dumbass

MSI Z170A

People still use CLCs.

i miss the old sound to be honest

RGB and gear with gayming design is pretty cool, honestly.
Battlestation is also an element of your room and it should look good.

Who the fuck gives a toss? It adds nothing to the pc gaming experience except to divert my attention away from gaming especially at night it's annoying as fuck
Hdr is a actual meme it's too soon to bother with it.
Wait until xled/oled stuff comes out it's silly to expect ancient ips/va/tn panel tech to be able to do it even with local zone dimming it's so low res you get halos and is a stepping stone to oled anyway
You are legit retarded
>WHIRRRRRRRRRRRR
I sure as fuck don't

>not even 4 years old
please say you were just meming

Sometimes I use my CIEMs when I use my computer so I don't give a shit about the loud fan noise. I used to leave the fan on when I go to sleep for ambient noise before I got a column fan.

I thought he was gonna say it was some ancient x58 or 990 shit but even they would run a modern gpu fine

>not explicitly buying shit without LEDs, or with LEDs you can disable
Using tape is for monkeys.

Sorry

PCs were pretty silent until the Pentium 4 era.

Have you ever tried even opening a modern electronic? Screws are not things anymore.

Good
Now go buy a Vega 56 or 1660ti
Unless your going big go home anything beyond that isn't worth getting unless it's a 2080ti or used 1080ti

They don't even need active cooling back then. I'm pretty sure the GHz wars changed all that.

youtu.be/Dy07b6hlUGg?t=380

>dude just buy shit that doesn't exist
>I'm so clever

Nice maxi pad on that Nvidiot card.

My 90's PC had a fairly loud cooler but not THIS bad, the HDD too.
Or maybe I was just used to it and filtered it out.

I have one LED in my entire set-up, it's the Ethernet port, and that's just because I can't be bothered figuring out how to disable it.

Why are you this fucking stupid? Almost nothing I own has LEDs in it, and the few that do can be disabled in software.

What about the 1070?
It seems slight better than the 1660.
I am trying to look up for something that will last me longer

>Damage the product instead of doing the easy and safe solution, dumbass.

Wow. Double digit IQ points

>retard doesn't even realize he wasn't talking about only the PC

you got used to it. my mom complained about my noisy computer all the time

Console players and zoomers apparently.
I wish PC gaming would have died. I wouldn't play games anymore.

>going outside so little that even the light from your rgb pc becomes too bright to not reeeee about it on the internet

the Yea Forums experience

1070 is barely midrange a 1660 is faster and you won't miss that 2gb of vram
Yep power efficiency went out the window that day.
Hopefully with 3d stacking and chiplets thermals will become more sane.
Intel have been fucking that up since 2000 and pentium 4 dogshit and still are with 14nm++

Are you retarded?

This is what I did after over 25 years of builds. Cosmos 2 and Noctua with aftermarket top GPU. Fuck all these lights. I do have RGB keyboard mouse and mousepad though but mine only flashes red when I shoot shit.

>the all acrylic fad of the early 00's
The only difference between then and now was the community was smaller with more like-minded individuals (pathetic nerds) that could circle-jerk each other without stepping on toes.

Is your PC supposed to smell kind of plasticy?

Not everyone damages the product brainlet. BTW dont cut cord disconnect it at solder point on board and reconnect on resale.

no. shit's on fire, yo
seriously, open your case and check that shit

If it's brand new, or the PSU is brand new. I think the wires smell a bit plasticy until the chemicals burn off.

see, this is actually well made
it's an aesthetically clean design
nice

>pc from 1999 was rendered useless in 2004
>pc from 2010 is still usable in 2019
Kind of shit we hit such a big plateau but also awesome you don't have to make a new build every two years.

yes

no, your PC is disintegrating

I sincerely dont understand bfrom the bottom of my heart the hate of this board to Minimalistic + rbg cases of today , I was there at the past and I really the direction case manufacturers have gone.

wow so hard, I swear you faggots live to do nothing but bitch fruitlessly

a lot of RGB is ugly as fuck. those strips look so tacky, but everyone has them now. why can't people appreciate the blackout build?

To be fair the AMD Wraith stock cooler has a stupid led ring around the fan that can't be disabled, and it always cycles color. At least it isn't bright.

Distilled water with anti-corrosion additives.
As if bubbling water could sound irritating.

RGB can be useful if you program it to respond to system functions. I got mines set up to change to red when it's hot, blue when it's idle, and green when I get a Windows notification.

big bubbles are nice but those small ones probably sound like annoying hissing
t. sister has lots of aquariums

I understand lights in mouse in order to recognize profiles, but it's just stupid to have it in your case. If you see the light while you're playing, it's irritating. If you don't see it, it's worthless.

Its probs a comment on how over the top the store war has been. Its close to console war bad.

>please stop complaining about horrible business practices
>buy and don't think, buy and don't think

You should use your brain when making a purchas. But you cant honestly say that E store argument was necessary. Like sure a thread but its plastered all over the internet like is actually a huge deal. reality is it will be another E store to add to the pile of launchers that lurk in my task bar.

Never really minded leds, but RGB is obnoxious as fuck. It really limits mobo choices and now AIO coolers are almost all RGB crap. But I am guilty for having over exposed lighting, I wanna put cold cathodes and el wire in my new build but the lack of rgb free products is frustrating.

>ignores the fact that what people are complaining about is their cancerous exclusivity deals and not just the shitty barebones launcher

Fuck now im crapping on about it. Its like a black hole just sucks you in

AIO is shit anyway. Custom loop or bust. Or stop being a fag and get a NH-D15/Dark Rock Pro 4

Not ignoring i just dont care about it would be the honest answer and not sure why its a big deal.

Apparently building machines with aesthetics that can only be described as "sexy" is becoming mainstream. I kick myself for not realizing this sooner.

If you don't care and are ignorant on some matter then you shouldn't pretend to know enough about it to tell if people are being wrong about it.

I didnt tell you what to do. I just think that you may be giving this debate more effort then it actually deserves.

Or maybe you don't know about it enough to tell if someone is putting too much or too little effort into it.
